SILVER PLANE, PRETTY NAME - Left behind death, fire and pain. But before you judge, point finger in blame, Ask, "What would I have done?" ..... I bet no answer came. demotivational poster

In the war there was a guy name Gook Ear Stern. My Great grandad remembers him from the war in the tales for Australia. He was a brave man and a great one too. He made through the war as a gunman, of course back then a gunman was one of the leaders.

if it wernt for those two bombs there wouldnt be any japaneese people any more they would fought until they were all dead

Exactly. As terrible as the effects of the bombs were, there would have been a hell of a lot less people in the world when the war ended than if they hadn't been dropped. Thanks for your comment, Airman.

my Dad was in the pacific then. He flew in a B24 over Nagasaki the day before they dropped it. all of the troops were preparing for the invasion of Japan, and the casualty predictions were huge. On both sides. The bombs saved a lot of lives

Good Poster !

RonE, I'm glad you agree we cannot point fingers, especially without knowing the history involved. Much of the world was in ruins. Hundreds of thousands dead. They did what they thought had to be done. No matter how hard the decision.

...using them against the allies. In fact, nuclear materials captured from a surrendering German U-Boat (on its way to Japan) were used in the bombs themselves. The whole point of the poster is to ask what you or I would've done. In truth I cannot answer.

I see someone commented on study history. Had nothing to do with "fanatasism." Nor "sticks and stones." People do not want to read or learn real history. Not nearly as exciting to know the real reason than it is to point fingers in angst.
